Schools in North San Diego County Install Tampon Machines in 3rd and 5th Grade Boys’ Bathrooms
“This is mental warfare aimed at your kids, subsidized by your tax dollars.”
This is just stupid. Are they going to install a condom machine as well?

Some San Diego parents balk as tampon machines installed in 3rd-5th grade boys’ bathrooms
Some parents are voicing frustration as school districts in North San Diego County install tampon machines in elementary school boys’ bathrooms to comply with a relatively new state law.
The installations began at the start of the 2024-25 school year and are ongoing to this day, prompting some parents to argue it’s a waste of taxpayer dollars, inappropriate, and a recipe for disaster.
“It’s absolutely ludicrous,” said Marci Strange, chairwoman of the North San Diego County-based Taxpayers Oversight for Parents and Students, or TOPS.
Strange told The College Fix she heard from at least one mom that some boys got the tampons wet to see how many they could stick to the ceiling, adding she wouldn’t be surprised if they’re “clogging up the toilets with them, too.”
Britt Mayer, a conservative activist based in Southern California, posted in mid-February on her popular Rooted Wings social media accounts a leaked internal Vista Unified School District memo about the tampon machines.
“Boys don’t bleed, and if they do, they need a Band-Aid, not a tampon,” Mayer wrote. “This is mental warfare aimed at your kids, subsidized by your tax dollars.”
The internal Vista memo had stated the Menstrual Equity For All Act of 2021 required all public schools in California to supply free pads or tampons in middle and high school restrooms, but a 2023 amendment to the law added elementary schools too, including in at least one boys’ bathroom per campus.
Shawn Loescher, assistant superintendent of the Vista school district, told The College Fix the district installed the elementary school machines in one boys’ bathroom on each campus over the last several months and is now in full compliance with the law.
He said the cost of the machines, including installation, is about $400 per unit.

Organized and coordinated warfare against those who accept there is a supreme being.
I see little jazz hands Tim “Knucklehead” Walz made another visit to CA.
Do fourth-graders have a bathroom too, or do they have to hold it until they get home?
So they did the bare minimum the law requires. Sounds like they don’t support this law, but have no choice but to comply with it.
of course they had a choice
and they chose to support the anti family anti common sense faction
No, they had no choice. What would you do in their place? Break the law?! What right would you have to do that?
I guess they are just inviting girls in
if only it were that easy
you allow the tax money to flow to the left
this is what you get
education doesnt mean it must be publicly funded
we have once again been lefted into their way
It doesn’t matter who they’re for. The law requires them to be provided in at least one boys’ restroom, so the district did that. It had no other choice. There’s no requirement for them to be in more than one, so the district didn’t provide them in any more.
I wasn’t talking about the text of the law, I was referring to the intentions of those who made it.
I hope they’re equitable and put condom machines in the 3rd-grade girls room.
